Rewash everything again. Rewash all the human hair in the house again, with the treatment. Go buy a few cans of the spray live killer from the the store and spray everything. All the beds, all furniture, carpet were she lays and plays or watches TV, the vehicles, Keep her home for a few weeks to see if they clear up, could she go somewere and pick this up. (a friend or families?). Buy her a new Pillow. Maybe even let her have her own bathing towels and wash clothes, hair brushes and combs.
I come from a family of 4 long haired sisters, and a mom who worked at the elementary school so we were exposed to that stuff all the time. And we'd get it and it seemed like it would go on forever. There's light at the end of the tunnel though.

tell the school, the problem is you clean your daughters hair other parents dont! its not the childrens fault. this problem was raging in my daughters school the head teacher decided that all children would be given letters on these letters it gave directions on how to clean hair of all lice and nits.they also stated that children that was not clear of lice would be asked to stay at home until clear. some parents think put the lotion on and everthing dies they do not remove the nits so they come back. unfortunatly it only worked for a short time its like fighting a loosing battle. as the children get older it tends to get better. good luck with the battle. teatree shampoo and conditioner are supposed to be good if used regular. your new best friend a durbak comb unfortunatly

She gets them from hugging her friends. It is not the end of the world !!! My daughter is a teacher, and she has them (nearly) all the time, she catches them from the children. Don`t buy expensive lotions. Wash her hair and then put on lots of conditioner and then comb her hair through with a fine comb or a nit comb. Do this twice a week, for a while and then do it every week. you will be able to see the nits this way, and remove them before they hatch. Get used to it, I`m afraid when she gets to school it will be worse still !! Good Luck.

All it takes is one tiny missed egg and the whole cycle begins again. I know how frustrating it is, I have 5 children and for a while all I found myself doing was checking for nits, combing nits out, buying nit treatment, itching, scratching........
The only thing I found that even vaguely worked was washing the hair, applying conditioner liberally and leaving it for about half an hour. Then, and this is the awful part, especially with a 2 year old, comb!! Comb and comb and comb, check and check and check and comb some more. It is an awful awful thing to have to deal with and so time consuming, have his/her hair trimmed, and boil wash as much bedding as you can.
Unfortunately you can get rid of them from your little ones hair, but if he/she is mixing with other little ones who are infected you are likely to get them again. I think you can get some sort of repellant to spritz on in mornings, I didn't ever use it but it could be worth a try.
Good luck and happy combing!

Been there ...... the nits get immune to all the lotions n potions and you can spend a fortune trying new things and since they stopped the nit nurse visiting schools some parents don't do anything about it.
There are 2 ways of getting them out of the hair
1, Use a nit comb every day, morning and night, this will remove them before the next generation is big enough to lay more eggs.
2, (slightly more drastic) dye the hair, when my kids gave me nits I found the ammonia (or something) in hair dye killed them off, I still had to comb regularly tho.
Good Luck

Does he go to playschool? If there is a child there who isn't being treated then he/she will get reinfected. the only thing you can console yourself with is that they only like clean hair! I have heard good reports about the electronic comb that kills them without the need for smelly treatments but i have no personal experience of them as they didn't exist when my kids were small. I had 5 kids but just one of them my second daughter seemed very susceptible to them and she had to be constantly treated. You don't say if it's a son or daughter- if it's a girl then tie her hair back tightly that is supposed to help. if it's a boy then i can only suggest a really short hair cut-it won't stop them but make them much easier to catch. Regular combing with a fine tooth comb works well as it break their legs so they can't hang on anymore!! Good luck, I know exactly how you feel-been there done that etc.

Dont fret My lad has had them loads. He gets reinfected at nursery. Use tea tree shampoo and conditioner, leave the conditioner on and nit comb his hair for ages. Keep doing it and it should get rid of them. In the end i cut my boys hair really short and informed nursery that someone else was infecting him. But honestly most kids get them more than once i know its a pain but it happens.

does the child go to a nursery? as it's obviously from an outside source check this out do you have pets or any old carpets or sofas in the house, the list is neverending and is no reflection onyour hygiene standards as lice love clean fine hair speak to your health visitor she may be able to help you to pin point your problem good luck and i hope you and the little one have a lot more success

If the baby's a boy, shave his head. Or at least cut the hair real, real short. Also, get him/her out of whatever daycare or keep the baby away from whatever friends he/she has been spending time with. It could be that it's not coming from your house.
Buy new hairbrushes, hats, everything. Keep your child from sharing hats, brushes, and from putting their head close to another person's.
I'm sorry. I know that's an awful, awful thing. I wish I could help!!
